TLF text rendering in .swf looks VERY different from what I see in Flash text editor

Hi,

does anyone know why I can't get TLF text rendering in published .swf files exactly the same I see in Flash text editor?

I tried everything, embedding fonts, using another font, tweaking any parameter of the TLF object, but nothing changes:

after publishing in swf I see the text rendered with a completely different anti alias type, it looks a litle uglier and thinner.

Maybe I'm missing something?...

Thank you in advance!

For a more in-depth answer to your question you might try the Flash Pro forums, as I'm not sure if there's a way to change the stage rendering to match the default output.

The thinner, lighter text you're getting in your SWF output is the embedded font renderer. If you change the text in the Flash Character tab to set anti-alias to "Use device fonts" you should get output that matches what you see on the Flash Pro stage.
